Watching and waiting

Watching the boys play basketball in the street outside, waiting for Noah come in and roll your pink ball with you…

Sometimes it’s hard to be a little girl.

Oh yes, it is.

      Dressed so girly….too girly to play outside.

    • Diane Shiffer says:

      Well, street basketball can get kinda rough and scrappy… I pretty much have to close my eyes and trust the Lord even with Noah joining in. Arianna’s not being able to play outside with them really had far more to do with the “little” part of being a little girl, than the “girl” part ;-)
      And even though that is an adorable dress and very girly, I am a firm believer in letting kids be kids, no matter what they’re wearing. That’s what we have washing machines for, right?
      ((hugs)) to you Tabor dear.

      I know Amy Jo! I am so glad Arianna’s mom lends her to me to satisfy my little-girl-longings ;-)

    Diane, it’s simply sweet. And in a few short words you’ve captured what we all have felt at one time or another.

    I love reading your blog. I dropped in to let you know that I sent you a PM on facebook explaining the cross drapings/shrouds. One thing I forgot to mention is that many churches obscure the crosses in their church to remember that there was a time before the world knew Christ and before we kenw salvation. …. I couldn’t send you an e-mail because my default setting isn’t working

      Hear, hear!

      By the way, I made tomato soup cake for my birthday cake. :-) It was delicious! I owe it all to you! Never would have thought about it if I hadn’t found Tomato Soup Cake.

    Diane, you have been in my thoughts often…very often. May the Lord keep you ever so close to His heart.

    We love you, Diane! Waiting and hoping to hear from you. You have been an inspiration to all who come in contact with Tomato Soup Cake — which we made again, by the way. I wrote the recipe down and we pray for our dear “Tomato Soup Lady” (the kids call you that :-) when we read it, look at it, or bake it. :-)
